“I thought he was rusty, but I knew he’d be rusty going into the ball game,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said on Sunday. “He has been in pads one time in a year. So, part of it was to get him some plays in there, because he had one day of pads this week, and we knew he’d be a little bit rusty. So, it’s just the way it goes.”

There aren’t many other options on the offensive line. The Vikings will have to make due with what they have, but I’m not quite sure doing what they did against the Eagles is the answer. They rotated guys on the line and I’ve never played a real competitive game of football in my life (so don’t comment ‘YOU’VE NEVER EVEN PLAYED FOOTBALL WHAT DO YOU KNOW!’), but it just seems like it would be hard to get into a rhythm. Again, these guys know more than us and work 18-hour days to put their team in the best position to win.
